There will be some AEW talent missing tonight’s Dynamite due to Hurricane Ian. AEW President Tony Khan previously noted that talent wouldn’t be required to travel to the show.
The hurricane is forcing mandatory evacuations in Western Florida. Millions of people will encounter at least tropical-storm-force winds because of the hurricane. This includes Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, and Tallahassee residents.
A Lot of AEW/WWE wrestlers live in the state of Florida. WWE previously postponed NXT shows this weekend because of the hurricane.
Will Washington of Fightful noted that there will be a few AEW stars missing tonight’s show:
